Nobody will care what an augment is. They will care what JJ and Co call it, I don't think JJ and co will take pointers from 'Enterprise'. I think it's more likely to take something from Space Seed and TWOK.

Their word for genetically-enhanced humans is as good as any, and it has the virtue of being unique to Trek, AFAIK.

There was a time, back in the '90s, I think, when I considered the possibility of "Augmen" (as in "augmented" plus "-men") as a name for a group of genetically enhanced superhumans in an SF or comic-book context. I gave up on it because I realized it was a pretty ugly and awkward word. (And what would the singular have been? An Augman? And what about Augwomen? It wasn't a very good wordplay because it only worked in one possible form of the word.) But "Augments" actually works pretty well, and I like it partly because of its similarity to (and improvement on) one of my ideas.

Another thing that came to mind in going over the issue was: if "April's Enterprise" was decommissioned 2 years before and April has been presumed dead for 20 years, could Pike have been Captain of that Enterprise as well?

In thinking about it, Pike, Spock and crew could have gone to Rigel and Talos IV already in this universe as well!

It could have been all Marcus.
Or first Marcus and then Pike for a few years.
